I drink that water from hot water bottles, smell them too and when the rubbery taste of the water bottle has run out I eat the hot water bottle completely.. I&#39;ve eaten about 6 over the course of my life. I try to stop but I can&#39;t, I love the taste and texture.. I sometimes wonder what it&#39;s doing to my insides but I can&#39;t stop.

I need the smell of rubber, bands, tires, etc. i chew it, smell it and yes my family will let me smell new stuff before they wear it.

Hello fellow rubber sniffers! :-...Anonymous said...<br />Hello fellow rubber sniffers! :-D<br /><br />First post of 2017 on a blog that started in 2008! We are many indeed!<br /><br />I have always love the smell of rubber since I was a baby probably! Staring with the classic rubber hot water bottles, I would be crazy for them. They are the only good things about winter. Over the last few years years they have introduced some silly plastic hot water bottles and I have had to hunt down the old school rubber ones. The ones without ridges seem to smell more rubbery. Like most other people who have posted I also love care tyres and petrol, but now more cars are being made to release less fumes, it hinders my addition! lol. I love certain types of inks on paper, books and magazines as well. Certain clay concrete mixes, when people are building and some tars too. If somebody could create a rubber bong (one of those middle eastern smoking thingies) we would all be heaven! :-D<br /><br />I too did a search and came up with the Pica information, but I feel the rubber sniffing addiction needs more research. I can believe it has something to do with a mineral and iron deficiency as we are all mostly eating nutrient and mineral deficient foods, but some proper testing in this area would be helpful to understand it more. <br /><br />Anyhoo, I love my rubber sniffing addiction and plan to live in a house made up of rubber! Or have at least one room in the house that has rubber floors and walls and rubber objects like car mats, tyres, etc also with under floor heating for extra fume release, so I can go and sit in it and get my rubber fix on a daily (more like hourly! lol) basis. ;0)<br /><br />Happy rubber sniffing y&#39;all! xoxox<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872349660729253096.post-78677624830527537902017-01-18T10:57:52.257-08:002017-01-18T10:57:52.257-08:00Hey im addicted to new nike sneaker smell so i us...Hey im addicted to new nike sneaker smell so i used to take the padding out of the brand new sneaker and chew the rubber...i dont know why its just like that..and i love the smell of tiresGabriella Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353821024909971086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872349660729253096.post-10690397359617329582016-12-27T20:49:04.651-08:002016-12-27T20:49:04.651-08:00Oh my goodness!

I too love the smell of rubber tires or brand new neoprene made products (some have the smell). I think I&#39;ve always had it though. I can trace it back to my childhood. In 4th grade my school built a new playground with rubber tire obstacles. I use to take whiffs of the tires during recess. I knew that I like the smell but I never &#39;obsessed&#39; about it until recent. Six years ago I was in an accident that fractured my spine. I have PTSD and the smell of rubber tires or neoprene is the only thing that relaxes me. I don&#39;t eat or taste, I just smell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872349660729253096.post-31093275104638867202016-12-19T18:28:51.894-08:002016-12-19T18:28:51.894-08:00I&#39;m in awe right now, this blog started in 200...I&#39;m in awe right now, this blog started in 2008 and we are in 2016<br /> I don&#39;t know what to say that hasn&#39;t been said already it feels like I&#39;m reading my old diary listening to everyone share they&#39;re story I&#39;m just so shocked that I&#39;m not the only one and I&#39;m definitely going to go get my iron levels checked cuz I&#39;m curious to figure out if I&#39;m deficient in any nutrients I thank everybody that took the time out to shoot a story I&#39;m reading everyone&#39;s story my mouth is open wide cuz I am in complete shock I can&#39;t recall when I started loving the smell of rubber bands chewing on now I always put them on my Christmas list and my family always buys me rubber bands I will go into my local Sally&#39;s Beauty Supply and buy them by the hundreds I used to keep them in my pockets I keep them in the bathroom I have some by my nightstand I&#39;ve never ingested any of them however just the smell of tires brand new tennis shoes and fresh rubber bands from the hair store I would chew them for hours so they break into little pieces and then I spit them outNadia Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962323989075815956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872349660729253096.post-16443416483471382252016-12-19T18:28:30.532-08:002016-12-19T18:28:30.532-08:00I&#39;m in awe right now, this blog started in 200...I&#39;m in awe right now, this blog started in 2008 and we are in 2016<br /> I don&#39;t know what to say that hasn&#39;t been said already it feels like I&#39;m reading my old diary listening to everyone share they&#39;re story I&#39;m just so shocked that I&#39;m not the only one and I&#39;m definitely going to go get my iron levels checked cuz I&#39;m curious to figure out if I&#39;m deficient in any nutrients I thank everybody that took the time out to shoot a story I&#39;m reading everyone&#39;s story my mouth is open wide cuz I am in complete shock I can&#39;t recall when I started loving the smell of rubber bands chewing on now I always put them on my Christmas list and my family always buys me rubber bands I will go into my local Sally&#39;s Beauty Supply and buy them by the hundreds I used to keep them in my pockets I keep them in the bathroom I have some by my nightstand I&#39;ve never ingested any of them however just the smell of tires brand new tennis shoes and fresh rubber bands from the hair store I would chew them for hours so they break into little pieces and then I spit them outNadia Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962323989075815956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872349660729253096.post-12870366243068904562016-11-11T19:17:04.892-08:002016-11-11T19:17:04.892-08:00Forgot to mention this, but I have also been diagn...Forgot to mention this, but I have also been diagnosed as anemic and have been prescribed super-dose iron tablets and vitamin D.

Now I don&#39;t feel like such an oddball. I have a rubber mallet in my nightstand drawer--my fiancé thinks it&#39;s for protection when he&#39;s not home, but it&#39;s also for my smell/taste cravings.

It is only recently that I had this craving for both smelling rubber and chewing it.I recently bought a Rubbermaid tub mat and getting into the shower the full rubber smell hit me. The next time I showered, I lifted the mat up and chewed on it. I was in heaven. After a few days, I cut a piece of the mat to chew on at will. I don&#39;t swallow it, I just savor the flavor. I&#39;m not pregnant, I&#39;m a 74 year old woman that salivate just thinking of rubber. However, I need to have water on the piece of rubber before I chew it.

New black rubber mats are my favourite. Love it when you buy new ones for the car. I can sit and sniff all day. Mouth watering. Hot water bottles are next.

I have a black rubber mat in a sealed bag to sniff and loads of different hot water bottles. I also carry a small kong toy with me everywhere. My husband likes to sniff it too.
